And as the "ribbon wars" heat up, I will be there with my trusty box of badge ribbons from pc/nametag. If you are a member of GeneaBloggers please track me down (I'll be at the FGS booth much of the time) and ask for your GeneaBloggers ribbon.

In case you know nothing of the "ribbon wars" it seems to have started at the Arizona Family History Expo this past January. Now several of us keep adding to our long "train of ribbons" to the point of endangering ourselves by tripping over the ribbons.

I'm happy to say I have some added ammo for the fight: my sales rep from pc/nametag was nice enough to send me a complimentary stack-a-ribbon® Fun Pack for me to use at FGS and other conferences*. So look for me to bestow a ribbon on you. Let's see, what are you . . . a diva? a queen? a bored member? certifiable? easily excited?

About Me

What happens when a “tech guy” with a love for history gets laid off during The Great Recession of 2008? You get Thomas MacEntee, a genealogy professional based in the United States who is also a blogger, educator, author, social media connector, online community builder and more.
Thomas was laid off after a 25-year career in the information technology field, so he started his own genealogy-related business called High Definition Genealogy. He also created an online community of over 3,000 family history bloggers known as GeneaBloggers. His most recent endeavor, Hack Genealogy, is an attempt to “re-purpose today’s technology for tomorrow’s genealogy.”
Thomas describes himself as a lifelong learner with a background in a multitude of topics who has finally figured out what he does best: teach, inspire, instigate, and serve as a curator and go-to-guy for concept nurturing and inspiration.
Thomas is a big believer in success, and that we all succeed when we help each other find success.
